Different Medium, Same Story

So having caught up over the weekend with Season 2 of Game of Thrones - thanks to a boxset kindly lent by a colleague - I was almost at a loss for what to do without my new timesink. However, I decided I'd make a start at the books. Chrissi received them as a gift for Christmas but hasn't read them yet - she prefers to do one series at a time, and as her typical series is thousands of books long, it takes her a while to get through them.

As a result, these remain untouched so I politely asked if I could read - it somehow felt rude to read her books first, as if my eyes reading the words would sully them forever. I started with an early night around 10pm and read for a little while - or so I thought. When I put the book down having stopped it was 2:20am. This wasn't supposed to be happening this way round!

I'm planning to read a little before bed tonight - I may have to set an alarm to remind myself to stop reading and actually to go sleep!

How's the book compared to the show? I've got the series too, but haven't finished the other books I'm reading yet.
